Default How do I put thing in Word ANYWHERE?

Like a picture or a table - locate it ANYWHERE!



I have to resort to using Powerpoint.
Sometimes using Word is better.

Just wondering if possible.

Thanks.

Uhm, use the Insert tab and insert it? Then use the wrapping pop-up to set positioning and wrapping.

Usually, you want to use Word for text that should flow from one page to the next.

However, it is possible to "break" the text flow by inserting wrapped tables, graphics, text boxes, shapes etc.

Perhaps you can describe what you are trying to do, specifically, and someone could suggest the best approach.

I seem to remember reading about – certainly never using – an option that let you click the insertion point anywhere in the page, like writing anywhere on a blank sheet of paper … don't remember what it was called, though.

It is still there, but a BAD thing to use. It makes for documents that are much more difficult to edit. It is turned on by default when you install Word.
File > Options > Advanced


Again, I strongly advise against using this. It adds blank paragraphs and tabs for spacing. This is not a good thing.
2.2 Why you should press Enter only once to end a paragraph

I entirely agree, Charles! it sounds like a disaster waiting to happen … but it's reassuring to have you confirm my vague memories that the option exists. I should hate to think I'd made it all up.
